Description: | Copper alloyBrooch. Cast Bow and Fantail Brooch, Mackreth type Tr 4.1b1, comprising tubular wings retaining an axis bar and the stub of a hinged pin and surmounted by a small loop, now squashed. The head tapers sharply towards a mid bow disc set in a rhomboid or lozenge, below which a triangular plate is capped with a moulding above a central sunken rectangular panel of three lozenges; the stub of a catch plate remains on the back of this plate. Recent research by Sally Worrell has indicated the particular prominence of the fantail brooch style in the territories of the Corieltauvi and Parisi, as part of a regional material culture found on both banks of the Humber. Suggested date: Early Roman, 100-200. Length: 40.7mm, Width: 14.4mm, Thickness (crest of bow): 2.1mm, Weight: 4.56gms.
